Program Coordinator for ScholarWise, Fred Reggie, says not only does Special Olympics Louisiana benefit from all of the money raised during the annual campaign fundraiser, but Cathedral Carmel benefits this year because they sold the most tickets. In addition, the school was also on the ticket drawn with Michot's name so they won a total of 20,000 dollars.
